#but what’s funny is when I make moodboards for Elain and Taryn their vibe is the same

[deathsweetblossoms]

I feel very seen.

One of the reasons I will always defend Elain is because I too went through a period of catatonic grief after unimaginable loss after loss after loss (in a short period of time) There was no Rhysand to rescue me from an abusive relationship, no Cassian to teach me how to wield a sword and feel strong. There was only myself with my thoughts, stuck in my mind as I replayed events over and over and could barely get out of bed to survive past all of the pain that was completely out of my control. Maybe if one hasn't experienced it, it's harder to understand how easy it is to disassociate in the face of too much incomprehensible sadness, no matter what is going on around you. I can see how that would be perceived as weak, from that perspective (I suppose), although I do not agree.
